Liberal Leader Mark Carney released his costed platform during the advance polling weekend, shortly after the leaders’ debates, promising $129 billion in new spending and no plan to balance the budget.

Carney said this platform is needed to respond to the emergency situation created by the U.S. administration’s tariffs, which he said is the “biggest crisis of our lifetimes.”
